Shit of The Day: Microsoft Granted Pizza Delivery Patent

From the "You've Got To Be Kidding Me" Dept.

Mike Mansick posts over on techdirt.com:

"Thanks to Microsoft, just ordering a pizza can now constitute patent infringement. Microsoft, who's been publicly whining about low-quality patents, was granted a patent Tuesday for a Method and system for providing service listings in electronic yellow pages, which grants it a 17-year exclusive right to the process of including pizza joints not physically located in a search area in search results if they'll deliver a large pepperoni-with-extra-cheese within the search area."
